I have hit a brick wall in trying to find the parents of Ransom Vangilder.Some records say he was a native of Vermont.One of his descendants says his ancestry was Pennsylvania Dutch.The Pennsylvania Dutch were Germans, not Dutch from the Netherlands that the Vangilder name would imply.Azubah Van Tassel, his wife, was the daughter of Enos Van Tassel and Sarah Painter.Their twelve children were:
1. William Enos Vangilder, b. 12 MAR 1821.
2. Alonzo Vangilder, b. 24 FEB 1824.
3. Louisa Vangilder, b. 1829.
4. Almira Serena Vangilder, b. 24 MAR 1831.
5. Hannah M. Vangilder, b. abt. 1834.
6. Orin M. Vangilder, b. abt. 1834.
7. James Willard Vangilder, b. 16 APR 1837.
8. John Gilbert Vangilder, b. DEC 1839.
9. Martha C. Vangilder, b. abt. 1842.
10. Jeanett Vangilder, b. 1845.
11. Caroline Vangilder, b. abt. 1848.
12. Harriet Lucretia Vangilder, b. 3 AUG 1820.
Some accounts say they had 14 children, but I have found records for only the 12.
Hope this is useful info.Denton W. Fitzgerald.
